He will miss Dover this weekend because of his daughter is getting married, then he will join TNT and not return to the car until Indy.

Split the races between ESPN and Fox. Let's just all pray that Bill Webber will not return to the TNT crew. Webber is the King of the hissy fit. <BR/><BR/>I do hope Wally Dallenbach returns.

Having been to races in second half of year when he worked with BP and listening to scanner at track he is not as phony as he comes across on TV. (Hope that didnt come out wrong - bit of sarcasm thrown in)- but the booth of Bestwick/Parsons/Dallenbach was something special even if you don't like Wally.<BR/><BR/>I also won't go to Pocono instead going to Dove o New Hampshire instead.

I can't wait (that is sarcasm folks, pure sarcasm). The coverage they did last year was so bad and I'm betting that in this case, no news is NOT good news. I'm not looking forward to seeing Bill Weber and his bad attitude again. I watched the first couple of races TNT broadcast last year and that's what I'll do again this year. There are a lot of choices out there to use to follow a race. The networks (all of them) have to impress me a lot for me to invest my valuable free time to watch the races. Interesting that there have been NO updates from TNT about their coverage at all. Maybe they'll give it back and NASCAR could divide it up 3 and 3 between Fox and ESPN, that would be better than dealing with TNTGinaV24http://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-54443991628639687922008-05-21T05:07:00.000-04:002008-05-21T05:07:00.000-04:00Oh,great,TNT covering NASCAR.
